I applied for the role on LinkedIn, and a recruiter soon reached out to schedule a screening interview. The conversation went well: professional, friendly, and positive overall. But afterward, there was complete silence. Despite sending a follow-up email, I never received a response. The least a company can do is extend the courtesy of letting candidates know when they’ve moved forward with others. The lack of communication felt discourteous and disrespectful to the effort candidates put into the process.
